Blues stitched up again

Blues officials aren’t best pleased with the EFL due to the transfer restrictions the Championship’s governing body has imposed on the club this summer.

The club are angry with the stance the EFL have taken and have been stitched up once again this week.

Monk admitted after Tuesday night’s defeat that he wouldn’t have made 11 changes had their match against Swansea City been on Saturday. Instead, it’s scheduled to be played out on Sky Sports on Friday night.

That decision saw Monk shuffle his pack and made Blues considerably weaker than their opponents Reading, who fielded a full-strength team.
